I've got a big craving for chicken so I'm going to cook some tonight although I don't know quite how yet. Tell me, what's your favourite thing to do with a bird?

pan fried chicken with home made pesto, pasta and grilled cherry tomatoes when I get home. Sounds poncier than it is. Although I do have a rather nomtastic jar of curry sauce in the cupboard which I could be quite tempted by...

roast chicken with salt and pepper. Legs and thighs are the cheapest. Have it 4 nights a week.

Take x number of chicken breasts (I like breasts) or thighs. Traditionally it should be thighs, but it depends if you can be arsed with all the bones or not.
Rub the chicken with lemon juice then roll chicken in plain flour. Shallow fry until the chicken is golden, then remove from the heat. Add 1 can of chopped tomatoes (or two, depending on how many bits of chicken you’re doing - or, use fresh if you can be bothered with the faff), a knob (pfft) of butter, a couple of chopped garlic cloves, one or two chicken stock cubes, and a generous splash of brandy. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally and letting the sauce reduce until it’s nice and thick. About ten minutes before the end, fry some button mushrooms in butter and add to the sauce. Then add a good handful of fresh, chopped parsley.
Can be served however the hell you want, with fresh veg, rice or pasta. I usually serve with veg, and ensure there’s enough made to have it with pasta for lunch the next day.
Fucking nom.

It's fucking delicious and well worth the wait. The chicken gets really tenderised in the process so it practically melts in the mouth.

Partly to better hide this as I fear l33t stalking skillz, but I have an embarrassing conundrum. And no, it doesn't relate to my cock.
I have a smelly student.
He came to my office yesterday and after he'd gone, the other guys in my office remarked upon his rather overpowering body odour. Clearly it wasn't just me that noticed. His hair is long, lank and greasy, his face gives some insight into what the early Earth looked like during its period of peak volcanic activity, his fingernails are like talons and his clothes seem to shimmer with the grease that fell off his hair after his hair ran out of room for more grease.
As I see it, there are five courses of action available to me.
1. Direct I say something to him. Somebody's got to, as he's clearly degenerated without his mother being present to nag him
2. Indirect I find out who his personal tutor is and raise my concern, asking to remain anonymous. This saves me some personal embarrassment, plus it might be better in the long run for said tutor to know
3. Inaction I say nothing, I do nothing, and just giggle about it with the other guys in my office, possibly setting up a sweepstake on the distance from which we can smell him
4. Direct and unsubtle We arm ourselves with cans of air freshener and douse him with the stuff when he next comes to the office
5. Direct and unhelpful I set him on fire
What should I do?

Then create a page declaring that student x is a massive smelly cunt. Simple. He'll either take heed and do something about his personal hygeine, or be so mortified that he kills himself out of shame.

Alternatively ask him if he is undertaking some form of social experiment and explain why you think he shouldn't.

but definitely say something. It's quite possible that there's something wrong. By the time of university most students have figured out personal hygeine, and if they haven't then it might be a sympton of something more worrying.

Get some thighs, de-bone and put in a sealed foil parcel – no seasoning. Cook in a warm oven 130c for, oh I don’t know, 40mins.
Heat a pan with a smear of oil til it’s just about smoking, remove the chicken from the parcels and fry skin down til getting crisp, doesn’t take long.
Season, turn skin up and add the juices left in the foil parcels.
At this point you could add ,chilli sauce or balsamic vinegar and reduce down to a glaze on the chicken, or just let the juices reduce.

This might be a little experimental (and Danish), please bear with me.
Take a chicken breast and hollow it out using a filleting knife.
Stuff the chicken breast with cooked fish (I prefer cod but am sure people could use whatever they like)
Wrap chicken breast in ham (like Parma)
Cook in an oven
Drizzle with sauce of choice (I like mushroom)
It's a real taste sensation as you get fish, fowl and fauna in the same mouthful.

although I've done the same thing substituting the fish with some blue cheese so I guess it's not all that strange.
